I, on the other hand, have stuck with MageiaLinux on my Laptop .... 
because, at about the time I brought the (Win7 pre-installed) HP 6730b 
laptop (secondhand) in 2010, and I wanted to get away from Windows and 
there was a Computer Magazine (June 2010, I think) which had a 
MandrakeLinux 10.1 CD on the front cover.

Mandrake folded about a week later or morphed into MadraviaLinux .... 
which then morphed into MageiaLinux.

I'm a USER not a Programmer ... like I used to be with DOS 2.0
